Despite the vital role of well-being on academic achievement, doubts prevail as to what extent and how well-being contributes to students' academic achievement. The present research therefore investigated the relation between well-being and academic achievement using multidimensional measures, while considering self-efficacy as a mediator.…

Background: Computer-assisted educational technologies that integrate affective supports into math practices could be particularly beneficial for addressing troubling declines in middle grade students' math achievement, affect, and motivation. MathSpring is a web-based intelligent tutor that offers personalised content, remedial tutoring, and…

Background/purpose: This study investigated the impact of the Test Survey for Students (TSFS) software, a game-based learning intervention (GBL), on the mathematical achievement and attitudes of Qatari fourth-grade students. Materials/methods: Utilizing a mixed-methods approach guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the TPACK…

The present study explores the sources of validity evidence of the mathematics self-concept construct in Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2022 with a focus on concurrent, discriminant, and predictive evidence. Mathematics self-concept was provided with a single index variable in PISA 2022. Using only the U.S. students who…

In this study, we applied elastic-net logistic regression to explore critical predictors of students' mathematics and science levels using data from eighth-grade students in the 2019 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). The elastic-net approach, a machine learning based approach combining Ridge and Least Absolute…

The current study meta-analyzed 17 effects from 12 studies to examine the effect of technology-based mathematical fact practice on mathematics outcomes, and how comparison intervention, risk for mathematics disabilities, and type of measure modified the results. There was a moderate effect of technology-based mathematical fact practice on…

This systematic review examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) interventions on mathematics education, focusing on studies published after 2020. A total of 14 empirical studies were selected based on inclusion criteria that emphasized AI's role in enhancing student learning outcomes, engagement, and teaching practices. The review…

Research and practice are increasingly examining the role students' mathematical sense of belonging plays in their mathematics achievement, participation, and persistence (Kebreab et al., 2023, Kebreab et al., 2024). As mathematics education leaders in national and regional non-profit organizations, the authors are especially interested in the…

This study examined the effectiveness of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) driven by real-time feedback in enhancing students' mathematical learning outcomes, as defined by the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes. Conducted within the domains of Measurement and Geometry, the study employed a randomized controlled trial involving 120…

Experiencing homelessness is largely associated with negative educational outcomes, yet some students continue to achieve academically despite housing loss. Drawing on a framework from resilience research, I develop school and neighborhood resource measures and analyze data from the state of Michigan to provide the first empirical evidence of…

This paper evaluates the impact of higher temperatures on learning outcomes in Peru. The results suggest that 1 degree above 20°C is equivalent to 7 and 6 percent of a standard deviation of what a student learns in a year for math and reading tests, respectively. These results hold true when the main specification is changed, splitting the sample,…

This study examines how student performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics predicts later college enrollment. The results show a strong and consistent relationship over time: students who score at the highest performance level are more than twice as likely to enroll in college compared with students scoring at the lowest level.…

This study of 4th-grade students in Oregon found that higher self-efficacy is associated with higher mathematics summative test scores, consistent with prior research linking self-efficacy to math achievement. Two formative instructional practices--opportunities for math feedback and help, and opportunities for math discussion--positively…

This meta-analysis examined whether learning outcomes differ (a) for STEM integration versus traditional instruction and (b) across STEM integration implementations. Based on 79 effect sizes from 40 studies of 15,577 students, those learning via STEM integration outperformed other students on academic achievement tests (g = 0.661; 95% CI [0.548,…

A sizeable literature investigating teacher test score value-added--the extent to which pupils make different rates of progress under different teachers--has emerged in the United States. While there is much interest in estimating teacher value-added in other countries such as England, progress has been limited by the lack of datasets linking…
